Incidentally this reading is only 1mb higher that the reading I got in
THAT storm 20 years ago, but the pressure gradient was far less this

Quite - Sky last night were saying that the storm had pressure as low as
the 1987 storm, to make a big thing of it. There's a big difference between
a filling 955mb and a rapidly deepening 955mb !
